16 Week Check Up

I had my 16 week check up yesterday and all is well. The baby's heartbeat is going strong at 150 bpm. My Dr. said she thinks this will be a big baby because it has already moved up to my belly button. Yikes! For those of you into the wives tales, I am a big contradiction! Heart rate is high (girl), I am craving red meat (boy), from what we can tell, my belly is sticking strait out (boy), I STILL have morning sickness (girl). Your guess is as good as mine!

Guesses so far: Honey says boy (but wants to see me at month 8/9 to confirm her early predictions), Brent says girl, Melody says girl, Justin changed his vote to boy after he saw me "put away" meat this weekend, Dr. gets girl vibes... we will see in 5 months! Still lots of time to make up your minds!

15 Weeks Pregnant

Memorial Day

What a weekend! The schedule was set and we covered a lot of ground in 3 days! We arrived at my parent's Friday night to a steak dinner, poolside:

Saturday, we had pedicures and checked out the new outlet malls by my parents house while the guys went to the shooting range. After a quick swim, we enjoyed an intense Astros game:

Sunday, we spent the day at the lake:

To top it all off, we got to enjoy both of our families at none other than LUPE TORTILLAS Sunday night!!! Yum! We got to visit with Chris's girlfriend, Christy, and love her even more! They are a happy couple!

Spring Cleaning

Our closets are getting out of control, so we did a little spring cleaning for a charrity pick up in our neighborhood... while Brent and I were in the closet being honest with ourselves ;) we heard Allie bark (this usually means "I am at the backdoor... I need to potty"), so I went to go let her out and as I came out of our bedroom, THIS is what I saw:


This has NEVER happened before and she stood there boldly as if to say "I am standing here until you aknowledge me... PLAY WITH ME!!!" Obviously, we need to work on our parenting skills!

Hey batter batter!


We went to the Astros/ Rangers game with Ben and Tiffany (after loving on their 4 month old, Addison). The outcome was not favorable, but the company was great! Brent lost a bet to 2 of his coworkers and has to wear a Rangers jersey to work and take them out to lunch... it will be a tough day for him!

12 Weeks Pregnant

I had my 12 week appointment and I heard the wonderful sound of a healthy, strong heartbeat (170 bpm)! We have been bursting at the seems to tell our friends, so it was exciting to make so many phone calls! It was fun to hear peoples comments and feel excited all over again that we are here!
